Rep. Adam Schiff said that the Trump administration's 'failure to produce this witness' could be considered 'strong evidence of obstruction.'

The Trump administration, at the last minute on Tuesday, blocked a key witness in the Democratic impeachment probe from testifying about the president's dealings with Ukraine—a move that may cause the White House more harm than good.

Congress can take additional steps to secure Sondland's testimony, but lawmakers will most likely consider the White House's action as obstruction of justice, which is an impeachable offense. Sondland interacted with Trump before and after his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Text messages provided to Congress last week show that Sondland and another senior official worked on a statement they wanted Zelensky to issue that would have committed Ukraine to investigating the Bidens.

The Democrats have nothing. Schiff is the whistleblower

NHPOLITlCS 1 '...hold the ambassador in contempt & refer the matter to the [Mr. Barr's] DOJ;' 2 '...arrest Sondland (a move Moss said would be considered as 'an overreaction' by Democrats);' 3. '...add the stonewalling...an article of impeachment for obstructing a lawful inquiry.'

BREAKING: RepAdamSchiff puts his foot down...again.

Chinaman

NHPOLITlCS But without GOP support, particularly in the Senate, there really isn't much they can do. Even if the House votes impeachment, Trump's base will stick with him, thinking it was all simply an effort to embarrass him.

RadicalLeft in control of dem party/media now openly treats America as 3rd world sh** hole w/repeated coup attempts. EnemyWithin

You might as well draw up the Contempt and Obstruction charges for Sondland now -- 0% chance he complies.
